GLOSSARY
Capital Construction Fund: Fund into which
General Fund and Lottery Fund transfers for capital
construction purposes are deposited. This fund is used
to build, renovate, and repair state buildings, to
purchase major equipment, and to acquire land.
Capi tal Cons t r uc t i on F unds Exe mpt:
Appropriations of General Fund dollars that are
transferred to the Capital Construction Fund pursuant
to Section 24-75-302, C.R.S. These appropriations are
exempt from the six percent General Fund statutory
appropriations limit.
Cash Funds: Separate funds set up to receive
earmarked revenues, such as fees and fines. These
funds typically pay for the programs for which the
revenues are collected. Examples are the Wildlife
Cash Fund and the Disabled Telephone Users Fund.
Cash Funds Exempt: A category added in the FY
1993-94 Long Bill for cash funds appropriations that
are exempt from the provisions of Article X, Section
20 of the Colorado constitution. Appropriations paid
by donations or from reserves in a cash fund are
exempt. Similarly, appropriations providing spending
authority for funds transferred from another
department are also reflected as cash funds exempt.
Federal Funds: Funds received from the federal
government. Some federal funds are grants for limited
purposes. Other federal funds support ongoing state-
federal programs and may require state matching
funds. Examples of matching programs are Medicaid
and highway construction. Federal funds are exempt
from the provisions of Article X, Section 20 of the
Colorado Constitution.
FTE: Full-time equivalent of one position
continuously filled for an entire year.
1
General Fund: Fund into which general tax revenues,
such as state sales and income taxes, are deposited.
The General Fund is used to pay, in whole or in part,
for state programs that benefit a majority of state
citizens. Examples are education and corrections.
Long Bill: Colorado's annual general appropriations
act.
